Announced in the [[E3]] 2001 trailer, '''Fountain of Dreams''' ({{ja|夢の泉|Yume no Izumi}}, ''Fountain of Dreams'') is a [[starter stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' which returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

In [[All-Star Mode]], this stage is played on when the player faces {{SSBM|Marth}} and any of his teammates. Unusually, in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, {{SSBM|Bowser}} is fought on this stage during the giant battle, despite this being {{SSBM|Kirby}}'s stage and the abundance of ''[[Mario (universe)|Mario]]'' stages. In ''Melee'', Marth is fought here for his unlocking battle, while in ''Ultimate'', King Dedede is fought here for his unlocking battle.

==Stage overview==
The stage resembles {{SSBM|Battlefield}} in its layout, as it consists of a flat main platform with three overhanging soft platforms, all three with the same size. The middle platform is immobile, while the two on the side gently move up and down in no particular correspondence. They can rise to be as high as just under the highest platform, or drop to the point where they sink through the level, thereby making them impossible to stand on.

On the bottom of the stage there is a solid pillar which characters can [[wall jump]] on. It is not possible to pass underneath the stage due to this pillar.

===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] is suspended in the air, and it is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form are based on the ones in the normal form and are stationary.

==Origin==
[[File:DreamSpringKA.png|left|thumb|200px|The Fountain of Dreams, as it originally appeared in ''Kirby's Adventure''.]]
This stage is loosely based on the {{s|wikirby|Fountain of Dreams}} located on {{s|wikirby|Planet Popstar}} in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Adventure}}'' and ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star}}''{{'}}s ''{{s|wikirby|Milky Way Wishes}}''. It is powered by the {{s|wikirby|Star Rod}} and gives good dreams to the inhabitants of {{s|wikirby|Dream Land}}. In this stage, the overall design of the Fountain of Dreams and its surroundings are different than how they appear in either game; however, this stage would later become the basis for how the fountain and surrounding area appear in future ''[[wikirby:Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' games after ''Melee'''s release, such as in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star Ultra}}'' and ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Fighters Deluxe}}''.

In ''Kirby's Adventure'', the Fountain of Dreams is where {{s|wikirby|Kirby}} fought and defeated {{s|wikirby|King Dedede}} after he stole and broke the Star Rod into seven pieces. Kirby then restored the Star Rod and put it back into the fountain; however, this freed the evil {{s|wikirby|Nightmare}}, a dark creature that corrupted the fountain, which King Dedede had sealed away by breaking the Star Rod. Afterward, Kirby fought and defeated Nightmare using the Star Rod. In ''Kirby Super Star'''s ''Milky Way Wishes'', there are multiple Fountains of Dreams on Popstar's neighboring planets; Kirby awakens them in order to summon the {{s|wikirby|Galactic Nova}} to grant a wish.

==Tournament legality==
===''Melee''===
Fountain of Dreams is a [[neutral stage]] in competitive play, and one of the most popular [[stages]] for [[competitive play]], due to its general balance: the moving platforms can prevent [[camping]], and the shape of the [[edge]]s of the stage prevent characters from getting stuck underneath them. Additionally, the pillar on the bottom of the stage allows characters who can [[wall jump]] to improve their [[recoveries]], while simultaneously preventing players from [[stalling]] by traveling underneath the stage.

Fountain of Dreams benefits characters who gain safer recovery mixups due to the ability to wall jump and/or the very low position of the lower blast zone relative to the stage, such as {{SSBM|Mario}}. It also benefits characters who have largely horizontal KO options but are more vulnerable to being KOed off the top, such as {{SSBM|Peach}}, due to the high ceiling and narrow side blast zones. Fountain of Dreams hinders characters who rely greatly on precise movement, as the moving platforms can mess up the timing of their [[wavedash]]ing or [[waveland]]ing, and the small size of the base stage prevents them from utilizing their [[dash dance]] to the fullest potential. This stage is considered excellent for {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSBM|Marth}}, as they realize all of the above advantages of the stage; Marth, in particular, can control space much more effectively due to the small stage size. It is considered {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s worst stage, and also one of {{SSBM|Fox}}'s and {{SSBM|Falco}}'s weakest stages, although some top Fox players do not mind this stage.

Despite its balance in singles matches, the Fountain of Dreams is often [[banned stage|banned]] in [[doubles]] tournaments, due to its small size for doubles matches and the water reflection effects potentially causing framerate drops, especially when the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} are present. Framerate drops disrupt patterns that rely on knowing exact [[frame]] timing, which are commonly used by experienced players.

===''Ultimate''===
Fountain of Dreams, including its [[Battlefield form]] and [[Ω form]]s, used to be banned in all modes due to framerate issues, which disrupted patterns that are based on exact frame timing. This was largely fixed in [[8.0.0]], with the exception of [[Wario Bike]] turning around on the water. Also, with hazards off, the base stage is too similar to [[Battlefield]].

==Update history==
'''{{GameIcon|ssbu}} 8.0.0'''
*Fixed lag spikes issue.

;Fountain of Dreams
''This mystical fountain in Dream Land uses the power of the Star Rod to create a gush of pleasant dreams that flow like water. The dreams then become a fine mist and drift over the land, bringing peaceful rest to one and all. It's been confirmed that there are identical facilities on other planets near Pop Star.''

==Trivia==
*In ''Melee'', the reflection in this stage's water is based on the lower-resolution models also used in [[hoop damage|offscreen bubbles]]. These models cannot show changes in facial expressions such as characters blinking. This can best be seen by using {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s [[Rest]] or by crouching with {{SSBM|Pichu}}.
*The Fountain of Dreams appears as a stage in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Fighters Deluxe}}'', making it one of seven stages in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to be featured as a stage in other fighting games, with the others being the [[Pyrosphere]], [[Green Hill Zone]], [[Midgar]], [[Suzaku Castle]], [[Dracula's Castle]], and [[King of Fighters Stadium]].
*In ''Ultimate'', there are water physics present on the stage. These include splashes, projectile reactions and proper reflections for every single move.
**However, the reflections will disappear if [[8-Player Smash|five or more characters are present]].
*The [[Moon]], [[Nikki]] and the [[Squid Sisters]] cannot be summoned by [[Assist Trophy]] on this stage. In particular, Nikki cannot be summoned due to the dark background obscuring her drawings.
